My personal style is all about relaxed glamour, which also informs my interior design and every once in a while I come across a look that echoes my ideal. Flicking through online stories on Matchesfashion.com I came across Francesca Ruffini, Founder of the fashion company F.R.S. whose profile perfectly captured that aesthetic.
Francesca and her family have a summer home on the shores of picturesque Lake Como. As she discusses her Art of Entertainment dynamics, Francesca takes us on a tour of her home that elegantly balances contemporary artwork with classic marble sculptures and antique furniture & rugs. Throughout she models her signature pajama-style creations that just ooze relaxed glamour.
When entertaining at home Francesca hosts with the same air of glamorous informality and shares how she typically arranges her dinner parties…”I really like to set up the table myself and my favorite job is to decorate the table with food. I never use flowers, I prefer fruit with aromatic leaves, tomatoes vegetables.”
I wrote a post in March 2016 about F.R.S. - (Pajamas for Day trend or Fad? read here). Comparing then and now, the clothes are less billowy and more tailored. The collection while maintaining a languid air now includes maxi-skirts, dresses and blouses, all of which are very daytime wearable. This line is also a perfect candidate for ageless dressing - you can look fabulously glam wearing it at any age!
